"Yeah he's a weird dude (at best), but actually kind of a great retort. You got cancelled by a culture that values TayTay and Love Island. Oh well. Also would be cool if Friedland interviewed him."
"I used to find neuroticism quirky or cute (especially in women I fancied), but the older I get the more annoyed or even disgusted I become in its presence. That Orson Welles quote about Woody Allen comes to mind."

"I grew up with a dad who had really interesting friends, and I just have these memories of when I was a kid and my parents would be drinking wine and talking about culture and politics with all these cool people. It felt like a scene in a woody allen movie."

"had its moments but ultimately bland. trying too hard to be Woody."

"When she found out she was wrong, she never issued a correction; Woody Allen noted that all she could think about was her reputation and not the reputation of a great man she callously harmed."
"Do you believe every single person on Earth needs to become a woody-allen ass sofa jockey?"
"If we can separate art from the artist for Roman Polanski or Woody Allen...why can't we do the same for Kanye West? I love his music, why should I stop listening to it simply because he said the one thing you can't say in entertainment?"
"I just had what I thought was a good convo with a woman sitting at a bar but it didn't automatically develop into friendship. Not sure if it's because I talked about Woody Allen films and Clara Schumann."

"I like his films but strongly suspect he's guilty of all the allegations just based on knowing Woody's mind from what he's written and said in the past. Anna and Dasha were slamming Mia Farrow in one cast and assuming his innocence."
"I watched Annie Hall for the first time last night.
